Show Notes

 

1. I have heard a pastor say that he has never once had someone come to him and repent of being greedy, even though Jesus talks about greed more than any other sin. My question is then, has anyone ever confessed to you that they struggle with greed, and if not, what do you think about this?

2. In Mark 13:30, Jesus says, "Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place." How do we correctly interpret this passage? It seems to say all of those things have already happened since that "generation" has already passed away. Or, who is this "generation" referring to?

3. Please explain what Jeremiah 48:10 means, "Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord with slackness, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed" This is very confusing to me—why do the books of the prophets often speak in these dark and confusing ways?

4. What is the word of God, Jesus, the spirit behind the word, the bible itself? And do pastors quote the bible, and instead of saying, "God says this," they say, "Paul says this," etc.
